Description: enabled(1) - setting this object to enabled causes the device to begin it's power up sequence and attempt to enter its operational state. If the value of this object was disabled, then the non-volatile value of this object is changed to enabled. As part of the power up sequence, the device's management parameters may or may not be reset. (In other words, the device may go through the equivalent of a reset or before returning to the online state. If the device is capable of going directly from the disabled state to the enabled state without resetting any of its management parameters, then it may do so. Such action is product specific.)

disabled(2) - setting this object to offline causes the device to cease network activity and enter a quiescent state. A disabled device must still be able to respond to management messages.

The value enable(1) or disable(2) shall be stored in non-volatile memory for the initial reset value of this variable. The factory default NV value is enable(1).

reset(3) - setting this object to this state resets the module, including its volatile managed objects. Resetting may involve running the devices self-test diagnostic. If diagnostics fail, this object will remain in the reset state and failure status will be reflected elsewhere in the mib. If diagnostics pass, then the device will automatically return to the enabled state. After reset, this object shall assume the non-volatile value of enable(1) or disable(2). (So, if you reset a disabled module, the device will reset and come back up still in the disabled state.)

restoreToDefaults(4) - setting this object to this state restores all of its non-volatile parameters to their factory default state and resets the module (see reset(3)).

Note: The default value of this object is, or course, enabled.

Note: Some devices may not send a getResponse to a PDU which commands the device to reset. Setting this object to reset, restoreToDefaults, or enable may cause the device to reset.
